Recurrent subluxation of patella - what does this mean
Recurrent subluxation of the patella is a condition in which the kneecap (patella) slips out of its normal position in the groove of the thighbone (femur). this can be caused by weakness of the muscles that normally support the kneecap, or by a structural abnormality in the knee joint. it can also be caused by trauma, such as a direct blow to the knee, or by repetitive stress on the knee joint.
What happens during the disease - recurrent subluxation of patella
Recurrent subluxation of the patella is a condition in which the kneecap (patella) slips out of its normal position in the knee joint. this can be caused by a number of factors, including weak ligaments, poor alignment of the bones in the knee joint, and tight muscles in the thigh. it can also occur due to repetitive activities that put strain on the knee joint, such as running, jumping, and squatting. in some cases, the underlying cause of recurrent subluxation of the patella is unknown.

Recurrent subluxation of patella - Prevention
The best way to prevent recurrent subluxation of the patella is to strengthen the muscles around the knee, particularly the quadriceps and hamstrings. additionally, performing exercises that focus on balance, proprioception, and agility can help to reduce the risk of recurrent subluxation of the patella. lastly, wearing supportive braces or taping the knee can help to provide additional support and stabilization.
